Last Rally Trial of the Year

last trial of the year was awesome! after waking up at 5:30 for my post-op checkup I went to an APDT trial with Scooter and Trixie. We got there just in time - when I walked in they were starting the level 2 walkthrough! At least we basically ran last after like 15-18 dogs so there was plenty of time to walk them and get out crate set up. There was basically no crate space so they were in a back corner. The runs went pretty decently - both of them got 210s (a perfect score :D) and 1st places, but Trixie's heeling attention was awful, she looked up at me like once, but she got her title and a 210 so what the heck. Next up was Level 3B for Scooter's ARChEX title. I was super happy with her backups, I think we got docked one point for the backup in heel but whatever, she finished with a 209 and 2nd place, and a total of 39 points towards end of year rankings, I don't think she'll rank but we'll see ;) As for our goals...


Trixie:

- Get her RL2 title w/ award of excellence (just needs to score about 190) - done!

- Place! - placed 1st!

- Score above 205 - got a perfect score of 210

- Better heeling attention - haha no not at all, but she did stay with me and had good attention during the stationary exercises


Scooter

- Get her 4th (? i think...) ARCHEX leg - done!

- Place in both runs - 1st and 2nd!

- Run during her fast pace - I feel like this is always a goal! haha - well sort of, more in 3B than 2B but she really ran on the send over jump which I was thrilled about! I think she's really starting to like agility :)

- Do retrieve exercise, if it's in the course - wasn't there
